To avoid kexec kernel boot failure on PowerPC, all the present CPUs that
are offline are brought online during kexec. For more information, refer
to commit e8e5c2155b00 ("powerpc/kexec: Fix orphaned offline CPUs across
kexec"). Bringing the CPUs online triggers the crash hotplug handler,
crash_handle_hotplug_event(), to update the kdump image. Since the system
is on the kexec kernel boot path and the kexec lock is held, the
crash_handle_hotplug_event() function fails to acquire the same lock to
update the kdump image, resulting in the error messages mentioned above.

To fix this, return from crash_handle_hotplug_event() without printing the
error message if kexec is in progress.

The same applies to the crash_check_hotplug_support() function. Return 0
if kexec is in progress because kernel is not in a position to update the
kdump image.

Commit 79365026f869 ("crash: add a new kexec flag for hotplug support")
generalizes the crash hotplug support to allow architectures to update
multiple kexec segments on CPU/Memory hotplug and not just elfcorehdr.
Therefore, update the relevant kernel documentation to reflect the same.

No functional change.

crash: add a new kexec flag for hotplug support

Commit a72bbec70da2 ("crash: hotplug support for kexec_load()")
introduced a new kexec flag, `KEXEC_UPDATE_ELFCOREHDR`. Kexec tool uses
this flag to indicate to the kernel that it is safe to modify the
elfcorehdr of the kdump image loaded using the kexec_load system call.

However, it is possible that architectures may need to update kexec
segments other then elfcorehdr. For example, FDT (Flatten Device Tree)
on PowerPC. Introducing a new kexec flag for every new kexec segment
may not be a good solution. Hence, a generic kexec flag bit,
`KEXEC_CRASH_HOTPLUG_SUPPORT`, is introduced to share the CPU/Memory
hotplug support intent between the kexec tool and the kernel for the
kexec_load system call.

Now we have two kexec flags that enables crash hotplug support for
kexec_load system call. First is KEXEC_UPDATE_ELFCOREHDR (only used in
x86), and second is KEXEC_CRASH_HOTPLUG_SUPPORT (for all architectures).

To simplify the process of finding and reporting the crash hotplug
support the following changes are introduced.

1. Define arch specific function to process the kexec flags and
determine crash hotplug support

2. Rename the @update_elfcorehdr member of struct kimage to
@hotplug_support and populate it for both kexec_load and
kexec_file_load syscalls, because architecture can update more than
one kexec segment

3. Let generic function crash_check_hotplug_support report hotplug
support for loaded kdump image based on value of @hotplug_support

To bring the x86 crash hotplug support in line with the above points,
the following changes have been made:

- Introduce the arch_crash_hotplug_support function to process kexec
flags and determine crash hotplug support

- Remove the arch_crash_hotplug_[cpu|memory]_support functions

crash: forward memory_notify arg to arch crash hotplug handler

In the event of memory hotplug or online/offline events, the crash
memory hotplug notifier `crash_memhp_notifier()` receives a
`memory_notify` object but doesn't forward that object to the
generic and architecture-specific crash hotplug handler.

The `memory_notify` object contains the starting PFN (Page Frame Number)
and the number of pages in the hot-removed memory. This information is
necessary for architectures like PowerPC to update/recreate the kdump
image, specifically `elfcorehdr`.

So update the function signature of `crash_handle_hotplug_event()` and
`arch_crash_handle_hotplug_event()` to accept the `memory_notify` object
as an argument from crash memory hotplug notifier.

Since no such object is available in the case of CPU hotplug event, the
crash CPU hotplug notifier `crash_cpuhp_online()` passes NULL to the
crash hotplug handler.

crash: split crash dumping code out from kexec_core.c

Currently, KEXEC_CORE select CRASH_CORE automatically because crash codes
need be built in to avoid compiling error when building kexec code even
though the crash dumping functionality is not enabled. E.g
--------------------
CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y
---------------------

After splitting out crashkernel reservation code and vmcoreinfo exporting
code, there's only crash related code left in kernel/crash_core.c. Now
move crash related codes from kexec_core.c to crash_core.c and only build it
in when CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y.

And also wrap up crash codes inside CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP ifdeffery scope,
or replace inappropriate CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE ifdef with CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP
ifdef in generic kernel files.

With these changes, crash_core codes are abstracted from kexec codes and
can be disabled at all if only kexec reboot feature is wanted.

kexec: split crashkernel reservation code out from crash_core.c

Patch series "Split crash out from kexec and clean up related config
items", v3.

Motivation:
=============
Previously, LKP reported a building error. When investigating, it can't
be resolved reasonablly with the present messy kdump config items.

https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/[email protected]/

The kdump (crash dumping) related config items could causes confusions:

Firstly,

CRASH_CORE enables codes including
- crashkernel reservation;
- elfcorehdr updating;
- vmcoreinfo exporting;
- crash hotplug handling;

Now fadump of powerpc, kcore dynamic debugging and kdump all selects
CRASH_CORE, while fadump
- fadump needs crashkernel parsing, vmcoreinfo exporting, and accessing
global variable 'elfcorehdr_addr';
- kcore only needs vmcoreinfo exporting;
- kdump needs all of the current kernel/crash_core.c.

So only enabling PROC_CORE or FA_DUMP will enable CRASH_CORE, this
mislead people that we enable crash dumping, actual it's not.

Secondly,

It's not reasonable to allow KEXEC_CORE select CRASH_CORE.

Because KEXEC_CORE enables codes which allocate control pages, copy
kexec/kdump segments, and prepare for switching. These codes are
shared by both kexec reboot and kdump. We could want kexec reboot,
but disable kdump. In that case, CRASH_CORE should not be selected.

--------------------
CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y
---------------------

Thirdly,

It's not reasonable to allow CRASH_DUMP select KEXEC_CORE.

That could make KEXEC_CORE, CRASH_DUMP are enabled independently from
KEXEC or KEXEC_FILE. However, w/o KEXEC or KEXEC_FILE, the KEXEC_CORE
code built in doesn't make any sense because no kernel loading or
switching will happen to utilize the KEXEC_CORE code.
---------------------
CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
---------------------

In this case, what is worse, on arch sh and arm, KEXEC relies on MMU,
while CRASH_DUMP can still be enabled when !MMU, then compiling error is
seen as the lkp test robot reported in above link.

------arch/sh/Kconfig------
config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC
def_bool MMU

config ARCH_SUPPORTS_CRASH_DUMP
def_bool BROKEN_ON_SMP
---------------------------

Changes:
===========
1, split out crash_reserve.c from crash_core.c;
2, split out vmcore_infoc. from crash_core.c;
3, move crash related codes in kexec_core.c into crash_core.c;
4, remove dependency of FA_DUMP on CRASH_DUMP;
5, clean up kdump related config items;
6, wrap up crash codes in crash related ifdefs on all 8 arch-es
which support crash dumping, except of ppc;

Achievement:
===========
With above changes, I can rearrange the config item logic as below (the right
item depends on or is selected by the left item):

PROC_KCORE -----------> VMCORE_INFO

|----------> VMCORE_INFO
FA_DUMP----|
|----------> CRASH_RESERVE

---->VMCORE_INFO
/
|---->CRASH_RESERVE
KEXEC --| /|
|--> KEXEC_CORE--> CRASH_DUMP-->/-|---->PROC_VMCORE
KEXEC_FILE --| \ |
\---->CRASH_HOTPLUG


KEXEC --|
|--> KEXEC_CORE (for kexec reboot only)
KEXEC_FILE --|

Test
========
On all 8 architectures, including x86_64, arm64, s390x, sh, arm, mips,
riscv, loongarch, I did below three cases of config item setting and
building all passed. Take configs on x86_64 as exampmle here:

(1) Both CONFIG_KEXEC and KEXEC_FILE is unset, then all kexec/kdump
items are unset automatically:
# Kexec and crash features
# CONFIG_KEXEC is not set
# CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE is not set
# end of Kexec and crash features

(2) set CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE and 'make olddefconfig':
---------------
# Kexec and crash features
CONFIG_CRASH_RESERVE=y
CONFIG_VMCORE_INFO=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
CONFIG_CRASH_HOTPLUG=y
CONFIG_CRASH_MAX_MEMORY_RANGES=8192
# end of Kexec and crash features
---------------

(3) unset CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP in case 2 and execute 'make olddefconfig':
------------------------
# Kexec and crash features
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y
# end of Kexec and crash features
------------------------

Note:
For ppc, it needs investigation to make clear how to split out crash
code in arch folder. Hope Hari and Pingfan can help have a look, see if
it's doable. Now, I make it either have both kexec and crash enabled, or
disable both of them altogether.


This patch (of 14):

Both kdump and fa_dump of ppc rely on crashkernel reservation. Move the
relevant codes into separate files: crash_reserve.c,
include/linux/crash_reserve.h.

And also add config item CRASH_RESERVE to control its enabling of the
codes. And update config items which has relationship with crashkernel
reservation.

And also change ifdeffery from CONFIG_CRASH_CORE to CONFIG_CRASH_RESERVE
when those scopes are only crashkernel reservation related.

And also rename arch/XXX/include/asm/{crash_core.h => crash_reserve.h} on
arm64, x86 and risc-v because those architectures' crash_core.h is only
related to crashkernel reservation.

kdump: defer the insertion of crashkernel resources

In /proc/iomem, sub-regions should be inserted after their parent,
otherwise the insertion of parent resource fails. But after generic
crashkernel reservation applied, in both RISC-V and ARM64 (LoongArch will
also use generic reservation later on), crashkernel resources are inserted
before their parent, which causes the parent disappear in /proc/iomem. So
we defer the insertion of crashkernel resources to an early_initcall().

crash_core: fix the check for whether crashkernel is from high memory

If crash_base is equal to CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX, it also indicates that
the crashkernel memory is allocated from high memory. However, the
current check only considers the case where crash_base is greater than
CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX. Fix it.

The runtime effects is that crashkernel high memory is successfully
reserved, whereas the crashkernel low memory is bypassed in this case,
then kdump kernel bootup will fail because of no low memory under 4G.

This patch also includes some minor cleanups.

Both crashk_res and crashk_low_res are used to mark the reserved

Meanwhile include <asm/crash_core.h> in <linux/crash_core.h> if generic
reservation is needed. In that case, <asm/crash_core.h> need be added by
ARCH. In asm/crash_core.h, ARCH can provide its own macro definitions to
override macros in <linux/crash_core.h> if needed. Wrap the including
into CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GENERIC_CRASHKERNEL_RESERVATION ifdeffery scope to
avoid compiling error in other ARCH-es which don't take the generic
reservation way yet.

This is preparation to simplify code of crashkernel=,high support in

crash_core.c: remove unnecessary parameter of function

Patch series "kdump: use generic functions to simplify crashkernel
reservation in arch", v3.

In the current arm64, crashkernel=,high support has been finished after
several rounds of posting and careful reviewing. The code in arm64 which
parses crashkernel kernel parameters firstly, then reserve memory can be a
good example for other ARCH to refer to.

Whereas in x86_64, the code mixing crashkernel parameter parsing and
memory reserving is twisted, and looks messy. Refactoring the code to
make it more readable maintainable is necessary.

Here, firstly abstract the crashkernel parameter parsing code into
parse_crashkernel() to make it be able to parse crashkernel=,high|low.
Then abstract the crashkernel memory reserving code into a generic
function reserve_crashkernel_generic(). Finally, in ARCH which
crashkernel=,high support is needed, a simple arch_reserve_crashkernel()
can be added to call above two functions. This can remove the duplicated
implmentation code in each ARCH, like arm64, x86_64 and riscv.

crashkernel=512M,high
crashkernel=512M,high crashkernel=256M,low
crashkernel=512M,high crashkernel=0M,low
crashkernel=0M,high crashkernel=256M,low

crashkernel=512M@0x4f000000
crashkernel=1G-4G:256M,4G-64G:320M,64G-:576M
crashkernel=0M


This patch (of 9):

In all call sites of __parse_crashkernel(), the parameter 'name' is
hardcoded as "crashkernel=". So remove the unnecessary parameter 'name',
add local varibale 'name' inside __parse_crashkernel() instead.

Crash: add lock to serialize crash hotplug handling

Eric reported that handling corresponding crash hotplug event can be
failed easily when many memory hotplug event are notified in a short
period. They failed because failing to take __kexec_lock.

=======

The memory hotplug events are notified very quickly and very many, while
the handling of crash hotplug is much slower relatively. So the atomic
variable __kexec_lock and kexec_trylock() can't guarantee the
serialization of crash hotplug handling.

Here, add a new mutex lock __crash_hotplug_lock to serialize crash hotplug
handling specifically. This doesn't impact the usage of __kexec_lock.

crash: change crash_prepare_elf64_headers() to for_each_possible_cpu()

The function crash_prepare_elf64_headers() generates the elfcorehdr which
describes the CPUs and memory in the system for the crash kernel. In
particular, it writes out ELF PT_NOTEs for memory regions and the CPUs in
the system.

With respect to the CPUs, the current implementation utilizes
for_each_present_cpu() which means that as CPUs are added and removed, the
elfcorehdr must again be updated to reflect the new set of CPUs.

The reasoning behind the move to use for_each_possible_cpu(), is:

- At kernel boot time, all percpu crash_notes are allocated for all
possible CPUs; that is, crash_notes are not allocated dynamically
when CPUs are plugged/unplugged. Thus the crash_notes for each
possible CPU are always available.

- The crash_prepare_elf64_headers() creates an ELF PT_NOTE per CPU.
Changing to for_each_possible_cpu() is valid as the crash_notes
pointed to by each CPU PT_NOTE are present and always valid.

Furthermore, examining a common crash processing path of:

kernel panic -> crash kernel -> makedumpfile -> 'crash' analyzer
elfcorehdr /proc/vmcore vmcore

reveals how the ELF CPU PT_NOTEs are utilized:

- Upon panic, each CPU is sent an IPI and shuts itself down, recording
its state in its crash_notes. When all CPUs are shutdown, the
crash kernel is launched with a pointer to the elfcorehdr.

- The crash kernel via linux/fs/proc/vmcore.c does not examine or
use the contents of the PT_NOTEs, it exposes them via /proc/vmcore.

- The makedumpfile utility uses /proc/vmcore and reads the CPU
PT_NOTEs to craft a nr_cpus variable, which is reported in a
header but otherwise generally unused. Makedumpfile creates the
vmcore.

- The 'crash' dump analyzer does not appear to reference the CPU
PT_NOTEs. Instead it looks-up the cpu_[possible|present|onlin]_mask
symbols and directly examines those structure contents from vmcore
memory. From that information it is able to determine which CPUs
are present and online, and locate the corresponding crash_notes.
Said differently, it appears that 'crash' analyzer does not rely
on the ELF PT_NOTEs for CPUs; rather it obtains the information
directly via kernel symbols and the memory within the vmcore.

(There maybe other vmcore generating and analysis tools that do use these
PT_NOTEs, but 'makedumpfile' and 'crash' seems to be the most common
solution.)

This results in the benefit of having all CPUs described in the
elfcorehdr, and therefore reducing the need to re-generate the elfcorehdr
on CPU changes, at the small expense of an additional 56 bytes per PT_NOTE
for not-present-but-possible CPUs.

On systems where kexec_file_load() syscall is utilized, all the above is
valid. On systems where kexec_load() syscall is utilized, there may be
the need for the elfcorehdr to be regenerated once. The reason being that
some archs only populate the 'present' CPUs from the
/sys/devices/system/cpus entries, which the userspace 'kexec' utility uses
to generate the userspace-supplied elfcorehdr. In this situation, one
memory or CPU change will rewrite the elfcorehdr via the
crash_prepare_elf64_headers() function and now all possible CPUs will be
described, just as with kexec_file_load() syscall.
